Need help for 40th Wedding Anniversary Gift?
My parents' 40th Wedding Anniversary is next week and they're renwewing their vows and about 20 of us are going out to lunch/brunch afterwards....
My sister and I are wondering what would be a good gift to get them? We won't be able to do a family picture (getting together for a photo is out), we were thinking of paying for the meal but that's going to be a ridiculous amount and we can't afford it...so what else?
Any ideas???
TIA!

Maybe you can hire a photographer (Lori?) to come to the vow renewal and do pics there.

Can you maybe get a photo of their original wedding and have it nicely framed? Or take a photo at the party of the whole family and then take it and have it nicely framed?

I like the photo idea. If you are all getting together at the restaurant, hire someone for an hour to take pictures. Make a photo album.
Another idea is getting them a weekend away somewhere they like, maybe AC or Montauk?

Write them a Speech and read it at the Reception.
Telling them what they have taught you about Love and Caring. How they inspired you to get married and to have a family and that you hope you would be as happy with your life as they have been with theirs.

I was going to suggest this, but then reread that it is next week. Maybe for future reference, CanvasonDemand.com takes photos and creates canvas style portraits. My mom actually had this done for my dad for christmas. They come out beautiful.

My parents 40th is next year - we decided to purchase them a slide reader - they can't see their honeymoon photos anymore cause they are on slides, so this reader/converter hooks into the computer, reads the slide and transforms it into a pdf file on the computer that they can see.
ETA: Plus all my brother's baby photos are on slides and vacations. I was the first paper they had a camera for.
